The Taming of the City Mouse is a book about bullying and the differences between a country mouse and a city mouse.

This story is my second book also written about Chris and Ardel growing up on the farm. It starts with them getting picked on while riding the school bus. Thankfully, it is the last day of school. Then they come home to a whole new surprise. A city mouse is coming to spend the summer!!

This story also takes place on the farm which was a magical place to grow up. I could tell so many stories about this place!

The neighbor Anna Miller who is referred to in the story was an actual person, a beautiful elderly lady who would make cookies and serve them with milk when we stopped by. She loved the company and would tell us stories. If you knew Anna Miller in the 70s who lived on Deer Creek Road in Selma, I always wondered what happened to her family. I hope you and the kids enjoy this hysterical story!

Monsters On The Farm

Monsters On The Farm

This book Monsters On The Farm is my first full-sized book if you can call it that. Honestly, it is an awesome story but I wish it was a little longer.

The book is based on bedtime stories that I told my kids when they were growing up. The kids loved them so I decided to write some down for the grandkids and other kids to enjoy. I wrote about eight short stories before I started writing books, so maybe I will have to share a few here.

Now the characters in the story are fictional though they may remind you of people you have met. One of the best parts of being a writer is taking things around you, twisting them, and molding them to make them into something fun or make the story end like you wanted it to.

The setting for the book is an actual place. This is the farm in Selma, Oregon, where I grew up with Mom and stepdad, three brothers, and three sisters. We really did have a goat named Shadow and an old stroller. How did they fit into the story? Get your copy to find out!!
